With Manchester United sitting comfortably 12 points clear of their noisy neighbours, for most, the title race is almost over. Manchester City?s poor run (2 points from a possible 9) has seen them lose ground to league leaders, falling prey to the teams below them. However, the race for Champions League positions is gaining momentum. As many as five teams are vying the remaining three spots.
